Carbon Costume Overwatch
Junker Queen from Overwatch
The Junker Queen (voiced by Leah De Niese) is a tank hero in the Overwatch game series. She is a brawler who thrives in close combat situations. The Junker Queen has a striking look, with a blue mohawk and a costume designed to show off her muscular physique. To recreate her look, you won’t want to be to attached to any of the clothing used, as some of it may need to be tattered or altered to suit her style. Start with a black sports bra and cut-off shorts. You’ll want to shred a graphic print top with a skull on it to be as itty bitty as possible, as well as cut one leg off a pair of leggings while tearing holes in the side you do where. Then, you can add the red glove and epaulets to your left arm before adorning your shoulder armor. A studded gladiator skirt, red sash, and thigh-high boots will help pull the look together, and if you’re looking to add some studs to the boots or other parts of your costume, a rivet set can help you customize your pieces.
Kiriko from Overwatch
Kiriko (voiced by Sally Amaki) is a support hero in the Overwatch game series. Kiriko uses kunai as a weapon and has healing abilities, and is aided by a kitsune spirit, which heavily influences her design. When searching for a costume, there are several full cosplay outfits available for purchase if you’re willing to shell out for the convenience of getting everything together at once. Otherwise, you can save money if you’re willing to get a little creative by layering a skirt over leggings paired with a short-sleeved top. (Cut the front panel of the skirt for an even closer match.) You’ll also need a wig, kitsune-inspired headband, fingerless gloves, and red high tops to complete the look.
Academy D.Va from Overwatch
Announced in 2019, the Academy skin for D.Va (voiced by Carlet Chung in the English version) was a new spin on the character’s look. Prior to that most of D.Va’s looks were spins on her usual pilot’s jumpsuit.
The skin puts her into a college uniform complete with headphones, blazer, plaid skirt, blue socks, and white sneakers with pink laces. Getting the exact jacket is a little tricky, though, since there are so many small details. Soft touch fabric paint lets you add in the details without creating stiff areas on your coat. Start with a white base to make the colors pop, then edge the lapels and hem in yellow while add pocket lines with pink. Black pig tails, pink headphones, a white undershirt and pink tie finish off the look.
Dr. Angela Ziegler Mercy
In the 2019 Overwatch event Mercy’s Recall Challenge, players can unlock the Dr. Angela Ziegler legendary skin. Compared to the battle armor Mercy wears in her default skin, the Dr. Angela Ziegler skin is a nod to her roots as a medical prodigy who earned her MD and PhD in Switzerland and pioneered the field of applied nanobiology as head of surgery.
Lifeguard McCree
In Overwatch, Lifeguard McCree is an alternate skin for the outlaw gunslinger McCree. The skin was released for Overwatch’s second anniversary “Retribution” event. McCree bares more of his, well, skin, and warns other players with voicelines like “It’s Hide Tide” and “No Running!” It’s left up to you to decide what the SAMF on his belt stands for.
Sombra
In Overwatch, Sombra is a notorious hacker who worked for Talon, and before that, the Los Muertos gang. Sombra uses her stealth and hacking abilities in-game to frustrate her opponents. Her unique style includes a purple and black ombre color scheme outfit, highlighted undercut, and toe shoes. To complete Sombra’s mysterious look, you should also follow this Sombra makeup tutorial.

Ziegler was head of surgery at a prominent Swiss hospital before pioneering a breakthrough in the field of applied nanobiology that radically improved the treatment of life-threatening illnesses and injuries. She has applied such technology to her own body, possibly slowing down her aging process or halting it altogether.
Honeydew Mei
Overwatch’s third anniversary event kicked off May of 2019 and the most acclaimed skin design, far and away, was Honeydew Mei. For this skin, Mei is uniformed as a boba tea employee with green melon attire and a Bubble Dew blaster.
Ashe
In Overwatch, Ashe is a sassy southern lass and the calculating leader of the outlaw Deadlock Gang. She always has her loyal omnic butler Bob by her side, and as for Jesse McCree, she would describe her relationship with him as complicated.
